  1. How YOU can help Open Source! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Simple, fire anyone in your organization that develops open source software as a hobby.

    This is quite logical.

    They prefer working on their projects instead of the work you give them, and quite often will work on their projects on work time even though they are not meant to. By firing them, you give them more time to work on their open source project which produces a better product. You then use their open source project for free. As it has improved, you do not need to buy commercial software and can save money.

    So you have saved in two ways. You fire someone who is not working hard enough and replace them with someone more productive. And if enough people fire their open source developers you can ditch your commercial software and get their products for free!

    Oh how I love this free software business model!

    Firefox is prettier by default. Now pardon me, I have to grab my Hello Kitty lunchbox and skip out the door. Weeeeh!

  3. Only 1.7? by Reorax · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why should I use this? Internet Explorer is already at version 6. I've used both, but I must say that IE is really 4.3 better.

    Also comes with a built in game called wack-a-window, and a neat "private information at a distance" capability.
